Abstract: We study a class of dynamical systems in L2 spaces of infinite products X. Fix a compact Hausdorff space B. Our setting encompasses such cases when the dynamics on is determined by the one-sided shift in X, and by a given transition-operator R. Our results apply to any positive operator R in C(B) such that R1=1. From this we obtain induced measures Sigma on X, and we study spectral theory in the associated L2(X,Sigma). For the second class of dynamics, we introduce a fixed endomorphism r in the base space B, and specialize to the induced solenoid Sol(r). The solenoid Sol(r) is then naturally embedded in , and r induces an automorphism in Sol(r). The induced systems will then live in L2(Sol(r),Sigma). The applications include wavelet analysis, both in the classical setting of , and Cantor-wavelets in the setting of fractals induced by affine iterated function systems (IFS). But our solenoid analysis includes such hyperbolic systems as the Smale-Williams attractor, with the endomorphism r there prescribed to preserve a foliation by meridional disks. And our setting includes the study of Julia set-attractors in complex dynamics.
